89 ezgo clutch problem please help

badbowtie · 03-26-2009, 07:46 PM

I am working on a 89 ezgo 2cycle
I finally got all the brake parts I needed and cleaned the fuel tank out and was ready to drive it around before I tear it all apart and paint everything.
I installed the drive belt and started it but it would just rev not move forward or reverse at all. I looked and the drive clutch on the crank shaft does not expand at all even under wide open throttle. So I removed the bolt from it and took all the 1/4 inch bolts out and then had to tap the drum but got it off. I was thinking it just rusted on the shaft and would not let it move but cannot get the rest of it off the crank shaft at all. Is their something I should be looking at that freezes up from sitting or what to try now? I found a good lead on some tires and wheels I was going to go get saturday but want to make sure it will move forward and reverse before I spend anymore money.
Thanks In advance.

your suppose to use a puller on those to get them off, a 3/4 fine thread bolt and a deep well socket or small piece of pipe might work for a puller.

Well no need to worry about the clutch I sprayed it some more today and tried to take a 2x4 and tap it in to make it move between the body and the rear wheel and now I need a new one all the weights fell out and it is know cracked. I can not believe how much hey cost so not sure what to do know.

I checked Ebay and they had some at a decent price and one seller had alot of part at discount and clutch was one of the items. If you need help finding them just email. Hope this helps

Can you post a pic of it? the factory engines have a taperd shaft, the very end of it (where the bolt goes in) is flat but the rest of the shaft should have a taper to it. Do you have all of the old clutch removed?

I will remove it in the morning and post a picture I got a bolt today.

here is what I got I had some trouble getting it off but did get it.
Still not sure if the cone one will work or only the flat one on ebay one cone one says it fits a 89 and the flat one says it fits a 89 also.

**** that looks bad, I always wanted to see what was in one. Look like it has been a long time since that cart was used. Your over my head now so I won't be much help. Might look around here and see if you can get a part number for the Drive Clutch and see what they have on EBay for Parts. I have found this group of people pretty **** sharp and willing to help.
